J&K Police Rescue 13 Youths Trapped in Myanmar Job Scam
In a daring operation, the Jammu and Kashmir police have rescued 13 youths who were duped by a cyber job scam and trafficked to Myanmar. The victims, who were lured by fake job ads on social media, promised them work abroad. After reaching Thailand, they were taken to Myanmar, where they were forced to work in inhumane conditions.
The police acted swiftly to bring the youths back home, and they are now undergoing counselling to deal with the trauma they experienced during their ordeal.
According to the police, the victims were from various districts of Jammu and Kashmir, including Srinagar, Kupwara, and Baramulla. They were all in their early twenties and had been promised high-paying jobs in foreign countries.
The police investigation revealed that the youths were lured by fake job ads on social media, which promised them work abroad. They were asked to pay a certain amount of money to secure the job, and once they did, they were taken to Thailand and then to Myanmar.
Once in Myanmar, the victims were forced to work in inhumane conditions, with long hours and minimal pay. They were also subjected to physical and mental abuse by their captors.
The police were alerted to the situation by a family member of one of the victims, who had received a distress call from the youth. The police immediately launched an investigation and contacted the authorities in Myanmar to rescue the youths.
After a series of negotiations, the police were able to secure the release of the 13 youths and bring them back to Jammu and Kashmir. The youths are now undergoing counselling to deal with the trauma they experienced during their ordeal.
The police have also arrested several people in connection with the scam, including the kingpin who was operating from Myanmar.
The rescue operation is a testament to the swift and effective action taken by the Jammu and Kashmir police to save the youths from a life of exploitation and abuse. The police have also launched an awareness campaign to educate people about the dangers of job scams and the importance of verifying the authenticity of job offers before paying any money.
The Jammu and Kashmir police have also appealed to the public to report any suspicious job ads or scams to the authorities, so that they can take action to prevent such incidents from happening in the future.
The rescue operation is also a reminder of the importance of cooperation between law enforcement agencies across borders to combat transnational crimes. The Jammu and Kashmir police worked closely with the authorities in Myanmar and Thailand to rescue the youths and bring the perpetrators to justice.
The Jammu and Kashmir police have also announced that they will be launching a comprehensive investigation into the scam to identify all those involved and bring them to justice.
The youths who were rescued are now back home with their families, who are grateful to the police for their swift action in rescuing their loved ones. The youths are also receiving counseling to deal with the trauma they experienced during their ordeal.
The Jammu and Kashmir police have once again proved that they are committed to protecting the people of the state from all forms of exploitation and abuse. The police have shown that they are willing to go to great lengths to rescue those who are trapped in such situations and bring the perpetrators to justice.
